CLAMP*NEWS

An update from twitter...
Drug & Drop is on break next month while GATE 7 will only have a 5 page short comic.

Gotta gear up for xxxHOLiC's return, I guess.

Since Drug & Drop Volume 1 and GATE 7 Volume 4 will both be released at the same time, February 4th, 2013, there will be a collaborative campaign to celebrate their releases including new merchandise featuring characters from both series.

Animate-online has updated with new GATE 7 merchandise. There's a traveling GATE 7 exhibit at Animate stores. If you happen to see it, feel free to post your impressions.

Animate will host a traveling exhibit of GATE 7 reproductions to celebrate the release of Volume 1. There will be limited edition GATE 7 clear files, wall scrolls, postcards, book covers, mirrors, straps, mugs, fans, screen cleaners, etc sold at each store. Each store will also be giving out message sheets from CLAMP for those who make purchases. There are a few images of the merchandise at CLAMP-NET. I'll post again if Animate has images of the other merchandise. Exhibit info can be found here.
